As in the first volume of Strange Bedfellows, etymologically related words, most surprisingly so (strange bedfellows), are used to construct amusing and/or amazing pairs, phrases, whole sentences, essays and nonsense stories. Most are accompanied by silly comments, tall tales with recurring characters, poems, fake news and ads. A larger dose of satire than in vol.1 is also included, with a number of Trump send-ups. Again there is a large appendix citing many other etymological surprises.
